My prayer is that the Highest Good of all concerned is manifested in your lives and hearts forever.

About Me

Previously, I answered this section of this profile to say something about my accomplishments. Often we answer this question in terms of our relationships to others in the world; I am a mother, wife, sister, musician, artist etc. Who I am, and what I have accomplished in my life can easily be discovered in discussion. To me, it is more important to tell you what I believe.

I believe in second chances. I believe that most of the world has not had even a first chance. I believe my second chance is to do what I can to help those less fortunate to have a first chance.

I believe in education. I believe knowledge is crucial. It gives us the necessary tools to become a positive change-agent within our world.

I believe in magic. Afterall, isn’t our very existance an illusion. The reality of it all is hidden deep within our spirit. The magic is finding that place of spirit and living our truth.

I believe that life isn’t complex; it’s simple. It’s living it morally, honourably and lovingly that makes it complex.

I believe as artists, writers, musicians, teachers, that we can make a difference.

These things, I believe.

If YOU could make a difference, would you?

Words come from old, stale air as I
conjure up yesterday.
Summing up my life, like skating over old sidewalks,
carving distant memories
into crumbling concrete.
Reminiscing of decades old wallpaper daisies
clinging onto clapboard walls, like me,
faded, but still hanging on.
